You place some quick calls to your lieutenants down in the hanger, instructing they being assembling all the gear they need for an official wartime posture. The task shouldn't be difficult or long though, as you had the foresight to tell your soldiers to prepare themselves in case of the worst. Fritz stands at attention as you go about making sure your own gear is ready, waiting patiently as you do some final checks, before you slip on your experimental jewel core and head out, Fritz wordlessly falling in step next to you as you head for general Degurechaff's staff meeting room. When you arrive one of the general's own aides opens the door for you allowing you inside while Fritz takes a place in a line of other soldiers, other aides that are silently waiting for the officer in which they are assigned to return.
Inside the meeting room you find at least two dozen other officers, most of which are Lt. Colonels or Majors. In fact as you as make your way to your chair you realize that you are the only captain in the room. Your not sure if that should make you feel inferior, or if it should make you feel proud that you are the only captain's deigned important enough to attend such a meeting at all. Whatever the case you take your seat and wait wordlessly as the other officers arrive one by one. When the last one does arrive Tanya herself then walks in from a side door, and with a quick gesture instructs for the door to be shut before taking a seat.
"Everyone, as your all now acutely aware war has been declared on the Empire by the European Federation. The government has responded in turn, and no doubt the next few days things are going to very messy as alliances, pacts, and whatever else start clicking into place. Expect more declarations in the coming days.", She starts, with a cool even tone, hands neatly folded in front of her. "Luckily we have been preparing for this. Ever since Captain Jeager was ambushed during maneuvers with experiential gear the entire military has assumed a maximum readiness posture. As war has now been officially declared however that means the experimental avionics division shall be largely deactivated from now on. However, for the sake of logistical ease the unit will be left largely intact, but we will now be assuming a direct combat role. The Empire cannot afford to have so many of it's mage soldiers doing idle work in the rear echelon after all. You should all be expecting deployment orders within the next few days. The base is already close to the forming front line after all. I want you all to make sure the soldiers under your command have everything they'll possibly need for combat in the next few days, then I would suggest you try to give them as much leave as possible. They won't be seeing any in the foreseeable future after those orders come in after all. Dismissed."
Short and to the point. A true Tanya Von Degurechaff speech. Everyone stands up and begins to head out, however before you can barely push your chair out a stern voice calls out. "Except you Captain Jeager. I would like a word alone.", she says.
